“Why did you leave me?
Was I wrong?
Why you didn't see,
That I cried all night long?"
Separation is the worst thing between any relation. I am too sorrowful for both the souls.
Now, about the poem, the question verses are good as they make a musical sense. The last two lines are too touching. My only suggestion to both the souls that they can come together and mediate between themselves.
When people part away, they do so due to some reasons behind it....it may either due lack of understanding or due to dominating behaviour , or may be other reasons.....but the pain it leaves is unbearable....that unbearable pain you portrayed it very well, i enjoyed it, Raj.
I like this piece. You are expressing the feeling of loss. At the same time it blames the other. My recommendation for both the souls, and for each writer is; to observe others we connect with and seek to understand how we appear to them by the way they react to us. In this way, we shift our attention to their way of perception and what matters to them. At that point we may validate, for them, a reason to continue toward a relationship with us. When we write, readers do not concern themselves with how we feel but rather how we make them feel. The same holds true with the people we encounter in this life.
I love this piece. I think the subject is great and there is feeling in it! A very relatable piece.
There are a few words I switch around and a few I'd add for a smoother read and for understanding purposes.
Example: "why (have) you left me?"
"Why (did you) do this?"
A few words just need switched, but then a few like the one about crying has a tense problem...instead of saw maybe see..."why didn't you (see) that I cried all night long"...
I think this is something you are already working on...but these few adjustments will help the reader a bit with understanding the power behind the poem...because the feeling is there!!
Great job on the subject and emotion!

I agree wholeheartedly with Bear's critique. The poem has a good message but it is kinda smothered by the improper word choice and structure. You have to be careful with that because that will tend to turn the reader off. Grammar is just as important as style and plot. Bad grammar overshadows a good plot, especially if it's frequent throughout the piece. But I liked the message it sent and it causes one to ponder over the struggles of love and relationships.
All in all, like the message and style but I would fix the grammar issues :)
